(already i know this is a mistake
but
currently i don’t care. ahem.)
dear billy,
even though you ignore my texts and
fail to answer my calls
genuinely i believe
humans rarely know what they want
i am in love with you
just in case you missed the voicemails
kinetically we are bound
laws of attraction state this is true
my soul is your soul
never before have i felt this way
oh sure i’ve been in love before
perhaps more than most
quite a few times, actually
rest assured though, THIS is different
silently i study you in class
that flawless chin resting on divine knuckle
unable to contain my longing for your affection
validate this with literally ANY kind of response
we can be happy together. i know.
xoxo
yours. always.
zoey (aka zoe)

Dialogue Poetry Challenge Winners
Hannah Moore is a first-time grand prize winner with her dialogue poem, On Receipt of Bad News. This was a poem that genuinely engaged both with the exchange of our prompt, but also focussed on the way poetic rhythms of language could support the writer's conceit. It felt very truthful, too, the way one speaker wishes to ignore the news and focus on practicalities; there was a quiet heartbreak, here. Well done.
